HI,<br><br>Based on my research <a name="bugnotes" id="bugnotes">, no plans are in progress to merge
kgdboe (KGDB over Ethernet) to the mainline kernel, we have kgdboe
support till 2.6.13 kernel. </a>Through serial null modem cable its fine for me but i need to make the setup via ethernet only, so for that if i add old supporting patches(KGDB over ethernet) to my latest 3.4.7 kernel would it work because there would be lots of arch dependency and code dependency . Please elaborate the procedure to me because i am very new to this.<br>
<br>Thanks<br>Vivek<br> <br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Aug 9, 2012 at 5:45 PM, Sannu K <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sannumail4foss@gmail.com" target="_blank">sannumail4foss@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div></div>kgdb over ethernet never made it to mainline. You have use only kgdb<br>
over serial. Out of tree patch for kgdb over ethernet should be<br>
available (just a guess as it was available for older versions of<br>
kernel) check that out. If available patch the kernel and use kgdb<br>
over ethernet else use kgdb over serial.<br>
<br>
